Carlos Mabry has been booked into the Jefferson County Jail on $75,000 bond, according to Sgt. Johnny Williams Jr.

Peoples was found shot to death outside his cousin's apartment at 1113 14th Street North. He managed to make it to the top of the landing on the stairway before he collapsed and died.

Peoples left behind three sons, according to his obituary.

Sgt. Sam Noblitt said it wasn't clear what led to the shooting. "The suspect won't talk to us so we can't establish a motive," Noblitt said.

Mabry was charged with murder in 2005 in the shooting death of Ludie Andre Thomas, 30.

According to court records, Mabry pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the case in 2006 and was sentenced to five years in prison. It was not immediately clear when Mabry was released but court records show he was incarcerated as least as recently as July 2010.
